still got a bit of reducing to do make it equal to the RAAF!!!!
ie
comparing a 10 year Flying FLTLT with appx 105-110
in Qantas you would be making more money as a 2nd officer in two years or so.(a lot more!!!!)
In
VB you would be equal after about 1 year as a FO.
Rough figures indeed but just add two more years to either job and RPT wins even more. Become a captain and get more than 99.9% of people in defence.
But I didn't do my defence time for the money, I did it because I loved it! (well most of it).
Note-I did say rough figures, you could include free medical....but then you have to add allowances for the RPT and I need a beer more than going on!!!
PPS - And now with the economic downturn the military doesn't have to worry about those pesky pilots asking for more money anymore.
